Euro-Pro ep8020 User Manual

When using your Steam Generator Iron, basic safety precautions should always be followed.  

Read carefully the following instructions as they provide important information concerning how to 

install, use and care for this appliance.
1.

Use steam generator iron only for its intended use.

2.

Use ironing system only for its intended use.

3.

To protect against a risk of electric shock, do not immerse the iron or any part of the ironing

system in water or any other liquids.

4.

The ironing system (iron and steam generator) should always be turned OFF before plugging 

into or unplugging from wall outlet.  Never pull power cord to disconnect  from outlet; instead, 

grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

5.

Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.  Let the ironing system cool completely before putting 

away or opening water tank (removing safety cap).  Wrap cord loosely around the ironing 

system when storing.

6.

Always disconnect ironing system from electrical outlet when filling with water or emptying and 

when not in use. Always turn the safety cap slowly when opening the water tank. 

7.

Do not operate the ironing system with a damaged cord, plug or if the iron or any other part of 

the system has been dropped or damaged.  To avoid risk of electric shock, do not 

disassemble or attempt to repair the ironing system.  Return the unit to EURO-PRO

Operating LLC (see warranty) for examination, repair or replacement.  Incorrect reassembly 

or repair can cause a risk of electrical shock or injury to persons when the ironing system is 

used.

8.

Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used by or near children.  Do not 

leave ironing system unattended while connected or while on an ironing board.  Always 

position the iron flat on the silicone rubber posts.

9.

Burns can occur from touching hot metal parts, hot water or steam.  Use caution when turning 

the system upside down, as there may be hot water in the unit.  Never direct steam at any 

person, especially when using the iron in the vertical position. The steam is very hot and can 

cause burns.

10. The hot iron base (soleplate) must always rest on the non combustible silicone rubber rests on 

top of the steam generator.

11. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

12. This appliance is intended only for household use.  Follow all user instructions in this manual.
WARNING: The power cord on this product contains lead, a chemical known to the State of 

California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

1. To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit

simultaneously with the steam generator iron.

2. If an extension is absolutely necessary, a 15-ampere rated cord with a polarized plug should be

used.  Cords rated for less amperage may overheat.  Care should be taken to arrange so that it

cannot be pulled on or tripped over.

3. Do not leave iron unattended when the system is connected to a power supply/electrical outlet.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).  

As a safety feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way.  If 

the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.  If it still does 

not fit, contact a qualified electrician.  Do not attempt to defeat this safety 

feature.
